Bi-fold doors have a number of hinged door panes which slide along a track. These panes fold or stack together neatly to one side when you open the door. This leaves a large, open space for free movement between the house and garden.

A traffic door is essentially a standard door built into a bi-fold door. The traffic door opens and locks independently, allowing you to open it and access the garden without having to open the whole door. Many homeowners in the Dorking, Horley and Redhill areas opt for a traffic door for its added convenience.

You won’t normally need planning permission to install wood, UPVC, composite, or aluminium bi-folding doors, especially if replacing an existing door. However, it’s important to check local requirements. You might need permission if you live in a conservation area or a listed building.
